Question

Out of 290 racers who started the marathon, 259 completed the race, 28 gave up, and 3 were disqualified. What percentage did not complete the marathon?

Answer 1

10.68%

Explanation:

Total no of racers = 290

No of racers that completed the race = 259

No of racers that gave up = 28

No of racers that were disqualified = 3

No of racers that did not complete the marathon = 28 + 3 = 31

We need to find the percentage of the racers did not complete the marathon. It can be given by :

`\%=\frac{\text{No of racers that did not complete the marathon}}{\text{Total no of racers}}* 100\\\\=(31)/(290)* 100\\\\=10.68\%`

So, the percentage of the racers that did not complete the marathon is 10.68%.
